So about your backhand spring. I don't know what kind of training you have had so I will start from a basic thing that will help a lot if you work with it. Lay down on the floor and lift your arms and legs about 2-4in. off of the ground. Don't lift them up too much though or it won't do any good. This tightens your stomach muscles. Hold it there for a while and then release do this over and over again. When this is tightening it helps you to know how to tighten them. So when doing your backhand spring tighten them just like you did before and jump high (but not too high), lock your arms, keep head tucked and pull feet around quick but not too quick or you will end up on your head really quick.
Hope I helped

well my coach taught me the stick and pop. what you do is when you land the back handspring immediately stiffen your feet and pop your shoulders back while fllinging your arms up into the air. of course this must be done gracefully but its a great technique. like pretend you are going into another back handspring when you land, (but dont actually lol)
and for the somersault i would suggest that you prete nd you are on a balance beam and go as straight as possible. tuck your chin in at all times.
hope i helped!
